The team at Open AI has developed a system powered by two neural networks: a vision network and an imitation network. The system uses a new algorithm, one-shot imitation learning, allowing a human to communicate how to do a new task by performing it in virtual reality (VR). Watch this video of training a robot using VR to show the task and final outcome; but the starting position for the robot is variable. Awesome stuff!
